Trump is currently considering pardoning the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization. Now I wonder why someone would do such a thing? Something interesting to think about is a pardon only applies to past crimes. If Trump were to pardon the CFO as a favor to keep him from cooperating in an investigation, that would be a conspiracy to obstruct justice and ongoing meaning it would be a crime occurring after the said pardon.
